This can be tested as follows:
zira% touch for-test-only.info
zira% info -f for-test-only
info: for-test-only: No such file or directory
zira% info -f for-test-only.info
info: for-test-only.info: No such file or directory
zira% info -f ./for-test-only
zira% info -f ./for-test-only.info
zira% info for-test-only
info: No menu item 'for-test-only' in node '(dir)Top'
zira% info for-test-only.info
info: No menu item 'for-test-only.info' in node '(dir)Top'
zira% info ./for-test-only
zira% info ./for-test-only.info
zira%
An absence of error means that the file was opened.
Without "-f", the rules seem to be the same, except that info also
checks menu items.
